Description

It was strong country. Sayward Luckett and her new husband Portius came out of the teeming woods to make their stake.

With Portius ever restless, the burden of building their home fell on Sayward, ever clearing more ground around their sturdy cabin, nurturing the vital fields with her sweat and hands to make a farm out of the Ohio wilderness. It was a backbreaking life, yet as she raised her family, struggled with her crops, fought for a school for her children and braved violence, disease and famine, Sayward met the challenge of the forest with courage, strength and love.

Conrad Richter is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of A Light in the Forest. The Fields is the second novel in his great trilogy, begun in The Trees and concluded in The Town, that chronicles Sayward Luckett’s lifelong adventure on the American frontier.
